Description
I'm not exactly sure which genre best suits this song so I'm putting it under folk-rock although it probably isn't. Suggestions welcome!

Lyrics
When It Gets This Late In The Evening
When it gets this late in the evening
And the drinks are getting low
Your friends, well they’re all leaving
They got somewhere else to go
You’ve spent the whole night standing
At the dark end of the street
But when it gets this late in the evening
There’s no one left to meet
You’ve sang your last blue song
Your voice gave up its ghost
So you whisper like a deathbed confession
And say goodnight to the host
You just need something to believe in
Someone to be a friend
‘Cause when it gets this late in the evening
Just want to make it to the end
When it gets this late in the evening
You wonder how it got this wrong
Was it the crack in the glass
The bourbon or the ash
Or the minor chords in the song
Or the minor chords in the song
There are lovers in the darkness
And they’d let you take it all
For just a moment without sadness
They’re crying down the hall
There’s a Bible you’ve been reading
And there’s a bottle by the bed
When it gets this late in the evening
You’re blowing smoke rings for the dead

this is just one great song and one great performance. Standing with
applauds. You got some great song writing here... I love that refrain...
"or was it the minor chords in the song." Classic.
Glad I found this song and I look forward to listen to more of your
songs (I just noticed you have a bunch uploaded over the past month).
Welcome to MJ. Glad you are here.
